Shocking, bloody and deeply affecting, We Are What We Are is a visceral and powerful portrait of a family bound by a monstrous secret. When a middle-aged man dies in the street, his devastated family is left in crisis: for their patriarch has always provided the human flesh on which they feed. Now he is gone, they are left with a terrible dilemma – who will lead their hunt for victims and how will they sate their terrible hunger?
